innī tawakkaltu ʿalā l-lahi rabbī warabbikum mā min dābbatin illā huwa ākhidhun bināṣiyatihā inna rabbī ʿalā ṣirāṭin mus`taqīmin
The Aya says:
I delegated my outcome to Allah, my
nurturing Lord and your nurturing Lord.
There is nothing that walks the earth except that He holds her
forehead. Indeed, my nurturing Lord is
on a straight path.
My personal note:
Huud here continues his discussion with
the people and explains in a sense why he did not want them to give him
reprieve. Basically he does not need
them because he delegated this outcome to Allah. The statement “There is no entity walking the
earth except that He holds her forehead” Carries many meanings. It carries the meaning that He is aware of
all that is on earth including birds and fish and so on. It also includes that Nothing bad or good will
happen to us if Allah does not allow it to happen. And whatever He allows to happen happens for
some reason in Hsis wisdom.
Translation of the transliterated words:
innī: I
tawakkaltu: I delegated/ I entrusted the outcome
Note:
the root is W-K-L and it means entrusting a matter to another, or trusting the
guarantee or guardianship or responsibility of another. WAKEEL is the person
who is guardian or guarantor. TATAWAKKALTU is an action that is completed. It
means: the action of entrusting oneself or delegating personal matters happened
by the subject (first person singular).
The end of My lord is on a straight path assures them that Allah does
what is most righteous.
